1 cup apple juice
1 cup brown sugar light
1/2 cup honey
3/4 cup butter
2 cups of your favorite BBQ sauce
1/2 cup Roasted Chipotle Garlic seasoning
1/2 cup Maple Bacon seasoning
1/2 cup Bourbon Molasses seasoning

Equipment

Instructions

- Step 1: Pat-dry your ribs with a paper towel, then peel the membrane off the back of each rack of ribs. Flip your racks to trim any loose ends and excess fat. Tip: Over the middle bones of the rack, slide a butter knife under the membrane. Left and loosen the membrane until it tears. Grab the edge with a paper towel and pull it off.
  
  Step 2: Coat both sides of the ribs with yellow mustard.
  
  Step 3: Sprinkle and pat your rub (Roasted Chipotle Garlic seasoning, Maple Bacon seasoning, and Bourbon Molasses seasoning blend) on all sides of the meat.
  
  Step 4: Set your Pellet Grill at 225 °F.
  
  Step 5: Place the ribs on your grill and smoke them meat-side up for 3 hours.
  
  Step 6: After 3 hours, transfer the ribs to a large, rimmed baking sheet and increase the grill temperature to 275°F.
  
  Step 7: Take 2 long strips of heavy-duty aluminum foil for each rack. Place the ribs bone-side down on the foil and cover all the ribs with brown sugar, butter, honey, and apple juice. Wrap and return them to the grill for another 2 hours.
  
  Step 8: Take the foiled ribs off the grill and carefully remove the foil as the steam will be extremely hot.
  
  Step 9: Generously coat the ribs in your favorite BBQ sauce and return the ribs to the grill for the last hour.
  
  Step 10: Take out the ribs and serve.
